I too prefer my SE to any of the current offerings. I don't want a big phone. I really don't want one.
But recently I got a used 32GB Kindle Paperwhite for $100. I was deciding between it and an iPad Mini ($400) but then saw a review saying that the PW was purpose built for reading, which is exactly what I wanted it for. Now I download PDFs of docs, decks, papers and check out e-books. It is purpose built as a reader and rocks at that.
So now the SE is even less likely to be replaced by a mega-phone.
